What is Capacitor

The voltage across a capacitor cannot change immediately; it takes time for the charge to flow, especially if a large resistor is opposing that flow. Thus, capacitors are used in a circuit to damp out rapid changes of voltage. Combinations of Capacitors. Like resistors, capacitors can be joined together in two basic ways: parallel and series.
